That seriously made my year! Who's the owner? You're my new hero, I must come shake your hand for owning THE coolest looking kite ever. Phantoms have nothing on Spaceman Stiff!

I think he's there with you right now dude. Go shake that hand (and buy a raffle ticket for the Stars & Stripes Manta!

{EDIT}
Just reread that other thread - forgot he'd gotten sick. Not sure he was going to attend NABX or not actually but kinda think maybe he's not there. Hope he's feeling better regardless. He's got some amazing skills.

Had to leave early today :( I'll try to find him and said kite tomorrow

Edit: I don't know who the owner is but I clearly saw a kite with Calvin and hobbies on it.

His name is Kieron Jansch, he posted a video of making that kite HERE. Some amazing work.

That man is crazy busy. 702ds if you catch up with him tell him snowspider test drove a seat steering kite sled. Wish I was there!

Kieron is there - busy doing lots of video, buggying, talking to people - great to meet up with him, fantastic workmanship. He even brought out his beautiful kites to be baptized in playa dust. That'll just make him even more keen to do some new projects when he gets home to have clean kites again.

I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I arrived and Kireion was oout there with his " creation " ! I followed him all over the place with my GoPro the 1st day ! DUDE can also handle a buggy !

I sure hope he doesn't thnk the Price Dino bid was an insult. Folks were tapped out !

Awsome Guy and amazing skills in many things ! Glad I met you !

Met Kieron, very humble guy. Nice to meet someone who is passionate about what he does and now I am excited about the next kite he has planned. :thumbup:

Man I thought owning all the books,a large tattoo with a sleeve planned made me a fan. Props to the ultimate C&H fan! Thanks for the video Willard! Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to meet Kieron but seeing his kites in the air was so awesome!

One thing I found amazing with the kites and video is how true to Wattersons work it is. He was and is famous for conveying a great story with pictures and minimal words to no words. Grade A+++
